Popular Abstract in Swedish Händerna utsätts dagligen för olika typer av faror. Handskador av varierande omfattning är därför inte ovanliga. Dessa kan drabba både barn och vuxna, såväl under fritiden som i arbetslivet. Panoramat av handskador har förändrats. För omkring 40 år sedan var handskador vanligt förekommande på arbetsplatsen, men har sedan dess minskat så att de för 20 år sedan utgjorde uHand injuries have a profound impact not only on the patient’s activity of daily living and during leisure time but also on working capability. Such injuries may therefore also generate substantial costs for society in terms of sick-leave and treatment. In the present thesis, the panorama, costs (within the health-care system, due to lost production and total costs), outcome and health status of p

Introduction: Moving in very old age is considered to be a major life event and relocation and access to appropriate housing options is a hot topic in the public debate across Europe. For very old people, the decision-making process and aspects influencing relocation is not well studied. Occupational therapy interventions mainly focus on ageing-in-place solutions when aiming for independence and w

Antimicrobial peptides represent a heterogeneous group that displays multiple modes of action such as bacteriostatic, microbicidal and cytolytic properties that are sequence and concentration dependent. Life threatening infectious disease is now a worldwide crisis and treating them effectively is becoming difficult day by day, due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains at alarming rates.

The topic of this thesis is bioprocess control, more specifically control of industrial-scale microbial fed-batch bioprocesses. Its focus is therefore on methods which are easy to implement in an industrial setting, which gives certain limitations on sensors, actuators and control systems. The main part of the work in the thesis concerns control of the microbial substrate uptake rate by manipulat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den pågående globaliseringen skapar ett behov av ökad kommunikationskompetens bland svenskar som arbetar ute i världen. Denna studie baseras på beskrivningar av de kommunikationsprocesser som används av svenskar, när de möter icke-svenskar på yrkets vägnar vid arbete utanför Sverige. Beskrivningarna baseras på intervjuer. Studien är inriktad på tre områden. De kommunikGlobalization creates a need for increased communication competence among Swedes working on the global arena. This study is based on reports of communication processes used by Swedes when interacting professionally with non-Swedes. The reports are derived from interviews. The study focuses on three areas. The communication strategies developed by the respondents for intercultural communication. T

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det senaste decenniet har resistansen mot antibiotika ökat enormt och visat sig vara ett stort problem för många människor runt om hela världen. Överanvändning av antibiotika i maten, jordbruket och den farmaceutiska industrin har resulterat i en epidemi av infektioner som är resistenta mot nuvarande antibiotika och blir allt svårare att behandla. I och med att människoAntibiotic resistance is now a large threat with worldwide agreement that we will fall into a post-antibiotic era unless there is suitable treatment alternatives discovered. In recent years, chronic wounds have become a major burden on society and treatment is complicated. Honey has been widely used as a topical treatment for wounds yet there is much discourse between studies examining its effect

Popular Abstract in Swedish I EU-tider är det viktigt att inte bara studera EU-rätten och dess applicering på svenska förhållanden. Det är också viktigt att skaffa och öka kunskapen om förhållanden i de andra medlemsstater som är med om att förhandla fram EU:s arbetsrätt. En viktig skillnad mellan medlemsstaterna är hur relationerna mellan de kollektiva aktörerna på arbetsmarknaden, industrial relThis work is a study in sociology of law about working time regulation in France, Sweden, Denmark and the United Kingdom during the industrialised era. The purpose is to study changes, developments and the role of law in the working time regulation process. Way back there is an element of repressive law, following the law tradition from the feudal society. The repressive law punishes the extreme a

The aim was to gain knowledge of young people's physical status and physical activity, and to further the understanding of the role of school physical education in a salutogenic public health perspective. Two studies were performed in southern Sweden. Study 1 was performed in 1996 among 301 adolescents aged 16-19 in upper secondary school. It comprised three parts: a questionnaire, seven physical

Autoignition in SI engines is an abnormal combustion mode and may lead to engine knock which is an undesired phenomenon in SI engines. It may cause damage and it is a source of noise in engines. Knock limits the compression ratio of the engine and a low compression ratio means low fuel conversion efficiency of the engine. This thesis presents a theoretical investigation about the modeling of the e

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a separation process in water and wastewater treatment. The removal function is based on reducing the density of the particle by producing aggregates of the particles and added micro-bubbles of air, thus lifting the aggregates to the water surface, where they can be removed as sludge. One parameter that is believed to be of crucial importance is fluid dynamics. The

Modern IC-engines produce more power per displaced volume and operate at higher combustion pressures and temperatures. In addition, engine structure materials such as aluminium and magnesium alloys, which are more sensitive to thermal loads, are more commonly used. These two parameters might lead to problems such as thermal fatigue, knock, high fuel consumption and emissions, performance loss, bor

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har en omfattande omstrukturering ägt rum av den psykiatriska vården. Verksamheterna vid de gamla mentalsjukhusen har avvecklats genom en omfattande nerdragning av slutenvårdplatser. Psykiatrins långtidssjuka patienter skulle återföras till det sociala liv de under lång tid varit avskärmade ifrån. I samband med omorganiseringen till den s k

Digital systems are integrated in our environment and have become a natural part of our every day life. As we rely more on these systems our expectations on them increases. We expect them to perform new tasks, communicate and cooperate. The complexity of these systems are increasing. The increasing complexity and the requirement for flexibility, which allows the system to adapt and evolve over tim

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med föreliggande avhandling vill jag belysa att Chrétien de Troyes Graalsaga, till skilnad från vad de åtskilliga kritiker har påstått, inte bygger på traditionella ridderliga värden, men väl avslöjar en problematisk ideologi. Denna ideologi prövas med hjälp av V. Jouves metod, som beskrivs i hans Poétique des valeurs. Graalsagans värden analyseras ur ett dubbelt perspThis dissertation aims at showing that Chrétien de Troyes' Conte du Graal does not, as often affirmed, uphold traditional chivalrous values, but discloses a problematic ideology, mostly as a result of multiple interactions at the textual level. In order to examine ideology, Le Conte du Graal is analysed in the light of the poetics elaborated by Vincent Jouve in his Poétique des valeurs (2001). Fol
